"A Pinch of Magic" by Michelle Harrison is a delightful blend of magic, mystery, and the enduring bond of sisterhood that will capture the hearts of readers young and old alike. The story centers around the Widdershins sisters—Betty, Fliss, and Charlie—who live on the dreary, isolated Crowstone Island. Their lives take a dramatic turn when they discover that their family is cursed, destined never to leave the island, and that they each possess a magical item with unique powers. It is a magical book sailing me across seas and fantasies of this book.

i would give it a 5 but it's a bit dark and spooky. however, the plots are amazing and i would recommend it to teens maybe, but i thinl the book is trying to tell us that we should never give up, or there's always a bright side, because even though they were never allowed to leave their home town, in the end, they persevered and did it in the end and the curse was broken.

This book was amazing. It drew me in right from the start! It was so adventurous and exciting that I read so much of it and couldn’t stop, but I wanted to savour the magic so I decided to read it over a few days. Highly recommended, even if it isn’t your type of book.

Three sisters trapped by a ancient curse in a small town called Crosstown and they use3items. My favorite character is Fliss cuz she is caring for her hair,does chores and is an outsider. I liked the book because it felt realistic and I could picture it in my head. I would definitely recommend this book.

I loved a pinch of magic it was amazing so full of magic and curses. I was glued to the pages from start to finish. I couldn't pick a favourite character because a was a mix of two characters, Betty and Charlie. If i had to chose three words to discribe a Pinch of Magic they would be Magic, Curses and adventure.
